Many  Pharmacies have there own discount plans that could even be better than GoodRX.  Check out prices there also, grocery stores even Walmart.  The techs have always been helpful to give me the best price.  Just take your bottle to the Pharmacy and they can get it transferred for you.

I've used Amazon Pharmacy for about a year, and it's so easy!  If your drug is a generic on their list - it's $5.00 a month no matter how many prescriptions you receive from them.

You are charged $5.00 a month even if you have no rx that month.  Your doctor can send the rx to them (instructions on their site) - a pharmacist will probably contact you to go over info, and then they will process.  It's very quick, and you can do an automatic refill.  If you need a new refill, your doctor can send it, or I think Amazon will also contact them.

Worth looking into if you are paying for medications!

I also had to let the pharmacy know I was using a GoodRx coupon before I filled my script. Walgreen's filled it without the coupon than wanted me to pay that price until next refill just because they already had it ready to go. I told them No I'm not paying that price so redo it.

So to save time let them know. 

I had my script transferred to Wal-Mart. I called & asked them to have it transferred. If I remember correct Walgreen's told me I couldn't just tell them to send it over.

Wal-mart has my script now. It should have expired long ago but some how an additonal year was added. Now they have added an additional 6 months?

I don't know if anyone mentioned it but you cannot use GoodRX and your insurance.  It's one or the other.

GoodRX just sent me a plastic card since i signed up. No mention of needing a coupon to print out. I assumed you just present the card to the pharmacy.

Just yesterday, my daughter went to her doctor who prescribed two medications and sent them to our local Walgreens.  When she got there one prescription was $3 and change  (using her own prescription coverage through work) and the other was $86 and change through the same prescription work coverage.  She paid for the $3 prescription and looked up on her phone the other prescription on GoodRX.  Walgreens did NOT have a coupon for the $86 prescription but several other pharmacies did.  She had RiteAid call Walgreens for the prescription and they filled it for $12.86 using the GoodRX code.   So, quite a difference from $86 to $12.86 for the exact prescription.

I have the GoodRX app on my phone and show it to my pharmacy when I pickup my prescription.  Saves me about $200 because my insurance co doesn't cover the prescription (an inhaler) and it's almost $500 out of pocket.  One thing I did discover is that the uncovered prescription shows up on my profile on the pharmacy website, but the one covered by GoodRX doesn't, so I have to remember to keep the box with the prescription# for when I call in for a refill.

One very sad day, I was out of the usual and way too soon to refill 😢  I went begging, and the pharmacist whipped out HIS coupon and I got a great price.  It did count against my refills.
